I want (another) one! Maybe I'll replace the model B under the TV and get my XBMC/KODI media center working with some of the flashier skins!

Oh yes, it's working a treat, but it's

been re-named KODI. My RasPi is currently running RaspBMC, but that's about to be re-named too, to OSMC (Open Source Media Centre).

I've just discovered "Prison Break" and I'm binge watching it now on it.

No xbmc is now kodi, it has no relevance to bring an xbox media centre anymore ... so they have re branded as kodi.

At tgethe moment im running 4 of them lol

I have a B+ running kodi For my media.

the A model hooked to my home network as my personal cloud server for my photography.

I have a B model running as retro games console and currently nearing the end of my project ... a pi drone, can fly and manoeuvre as wanted, just need to optimise it to carry a full DSLR camera and im sorted

I think you have to register with Microsoft, as a developer, to get it for free. At least that's how I've interpreted the announcement on the main Raspberry Pi Foundation blog.
